(DO NOT purchase these items.) SUPPLIES (* will be included in the kit) PLEASE NOTE: The book, PUZZLE QUILTS: Simple Blocks, Complex Fabrics by Paula Nadelstern (C&T, 2006) will be referred to in class.  12" x 12" Graph paper with bold inch line   *Sheets of see-thru plastic template material, either clear or with a grid and a bold inch line. (Do not purchase long sheets in rolled format; they will never obey your will and lie flat.) *A thin 12" x 2" or 6" x 1" C-Thru© ruler made of clear plastic with accurate one-eighth-inch grid lines Well-sharpened pencils with ample and accessible erasers *Extra fine permanent marker. My preference: Ex: PILOT7 Extra Fine Permanent Marker, SCA-UF *Method to mark dark fabric. My preference: Silver Sanford Uni-ball Gel Impact 1.0mm  Fabric scissors Template/paper scissors. A template scissor should not be the discarded kitchen shears or shaped for a five-year-old's hand. It is the essential, indispensable tool from which all other acts follow. I use OlfasCS-1 multipurpose scissors. Set-up for rotary cutting, including a rotary cutter, ruler and mat Sewing machine with well-defined quarter-inch seam allowance guide and single hole throat plate General sewing supplies FABRIC If it catches your eye, bring it! The palette of fabric does not have to match. Diversity is the key.  Remember, more is more! Think luminosity, translucence, iridescence. Bring one yard each of at least two fabrics with bilateral symmetry. In other words, the motif can be divided into identical halves by a line passing through the center. Also, bring a beautiful, opulent patterned print (does not have to be symmetrical but can be) with at least four repeats.  Also:  a wide variety of 1/4-1/2 yards of small to medium all over prints, textures, gradations, stripes, marbled and stuff speckled with gold (a black splattered with gold is excellent.) Include rich, saturated jewel tones and painterly fabrics that evoke luminosity, translucence, iridescence. Black and white all-overs such as dots or dash are useful. So are classic stripes, perhaps with wide bands or shadings of color, or a wacky stripe.
